[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] [QUOTE]the important known libyan (berber) tribes through the egyptian sources are: tehuno ; temhu ; libou ; meshwesh. the temhu were blond, fair and blue eyed. they were of the central saharan origin[/QUOTE] The ancient Egyptians depict the first Libyans as being reddish-brown and wearing a beard. After the New Kingdom the Tamahou are depicted as bright skinned. Many have often said blonde hair but I have not seen any reliefs of the sort. Some had reddish hair,but most have bright skin and dark type hair. Do you have any pictures of the Tehennu? Tamahou? meshwesh? or Lebou? Please post them if you do. Please note that I have not read Oric Bates The Eastern Libyans A more recent book in English is the following: Leahy 1990. Anthony Leahy. Libya and Egypt. c1300-750 BC. London [/QB][/QUOTE]
